Afternoon

While the bush may seem barren during the midday heat an afternoon safari can be one of the most exciting times of the day to enter the park.

With updates from the morning’s sightings, and the kind of intuitive knowledge that can only come from years of experience driving the roads of the Kruger, your guide will take you to those areas best known for afternoon wildlife sightings.

We will make our way through the Southern Kruger, stopping at busy afternoon watering holes, where wildlife gathers to drink, and cool off.

As the heat fades, animals emerge from the shade to feed, roam, and hunt, making this the time of day that often gives travellers surprise sightings.

Because afternoons in the Kruger can be warm year-round, you should remember to bring sun cream, a hat, sunglasses, and comfortable shoes. Winter evenings can cool down quickly, so keep a warm layer handy, and if you’re travelling in summer, pop a rain jacket into your bag.

Frequently Asked Questions

Shared Afternoon Safaris

Are afternoon game drives worth it in Kruger National Park?

Absolutely! Afternoon drives are often the highlight of a Kruger trip. As the heat of the day fades, animals shake off their midday siesta and head to rivers and waterholes. Predators start hunting, elephants come out to drink, and the golden light makes everything look incredible. Plus, your guide will already have the latest sightings from the morning radio chatter, so you’re heading straight to the action.

How long does the afternoon safari from Hazyview last?

Typically, an afternoon drive takes place over 6–7 hours. You’ll be picked up in Hazyview in the early afternoon, transferred to the nearest gate, and then spend a solid chunk of time cruising the southern section of the Kruger in an open safari vehicle until after sunset (sunset drives are allowed, one of the perks of going in the afternoon!).

Can I join as a solo traveller?

This is a shared group safari, so solo travellers are very welcome. The only catch is that the tour needs a minimum of two people to run. If you’re the only booking, we’ll either pair you with others or let you know if we need to reschedule, but it almost always goes ahead.

What should I pack for an afternoon Kruger safari?

We suggest you pack:

  • Sunscreen, hat, sunglasses (it can still be seriously hot when you start)
  • Camera/binoculars and extra batteries/memory cards
  • Light clothing
  • A warm jacket or fleece because once the sun drops, it gets chilly fast, especially in an open vehicle (May–September can feel freezing after dark!)
  • Rain jacket or poncho if you’re travelling in summer (Nov–March) for those quick rain showers

What’s included in the afternoon Kruger safari from Hazyview?

  • Hotel pick-up and drop-off in Hazyview
  • Entrance/conservation fees for Kruger National Park
  • Professional guide and open 4×4 safari vehicle
  • Bottled water and a light pre-packed lunch/snack pack
